“Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin? Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet? Who taught you to hate your own kind? Who taught you to hate the race that you belong to so much so that you don’t want to be around each other? ... you should ask yourself who taught you to hate being what God made you.”

Oh, ancestor Malcom! I give thanks for him because he challenged us to examine the reasons that we feel so much self-hatred. Decades after he spoke these words, the impact is still pertinent.We need to confront these questions so that we may heal.
